I'm thinking about trying out Google Chrome since I always use Google. I'm wondering how it is compared to Firefox which is the web browser I use.

Are there any glitches or security issues with Google Chrome?

What are your opinions on it?

Used Firefox for years, recently switched to Chrome and it is great, I prefer the look of Chrome more than Firefox, I can't tell if it's faster but I am enjoying using it and I do not see myself going back to Firefox.

I use all the browsers all the time, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, IE, Safari. Certain applications work slightly better on some browsers. No one browser is "ultimate" but overall I personally like Chrome at the moment.

I personally like the bookmark sync that Chrome has if you have a gmail account. No matter where I go, if I log into my gmail account all my bookmarks and tabs are right there, really neat.

From my experience, no comparison. Chrome is hands down faster.

I've used both and for some reason I just don't like Chrome at all. Something about is just annoys me and I rarely use it. Firefox has some annoyances but as it stands I'm sticking with it

The only thing I know about Chrome is that it doesn't have ad-block, and that's all I need to know. Adblock or bust, for me.

All Chrome does is that Firefox doesn't is pass Acid3. Chrome does have most of the same extensions nowadays, but they're still missing the functionality of a few I use rather frequently, like Firebug and Tamper Data. Plus, I love running custom CSS. Firefox's CSS extensions are really nice; I don't see how anyone can manage the stuff without @-moz-document available. xd I'll take the extensions over a split second faster render time any day.

I just downloaded it. It's ok. I like the themes (a hatsune miku theme!!! dude!), but the ad-block it has doesn't seem to work quite as well as on FireFox. It's good, but the FireFox version is superb. Though it is a hair faster.

FF has the best Ad-blocker there is and is fully customizable. FF wins :)

Chrome is thee browser. It's sleek, smooth, fast and rarely crashes. Well for me anyways. Lots of cool themes and extensions (add-ons) just like Firefox.

Back on my laptop I used Chrome, but on my desktop computer I haven't really gotten used to it. I like Firefox's personas (I actually made my own for it.) and I don't like how Chrome is so limited in that department.

That complaint may be a bit silly, but I also prefer the overall interface of Firefox.

No, now chrome is in complete version, but i heard that chrome came up with a newer version. Just try it and you don't need to wait longer to see the browser window compared to FF.

I'm using chrome atm and its nice. You can hide most things at the top of taskbar so all you can see are your tabs and your current web address. Its simplistic and clean.

*high five*

Chromium, while essentially the same thing as Chrome, is far better. Why you ask? Open-source I say. Oh yeah, there is also no silly branding.
